BACKGROUNDIn order to fulfil part of Work Programme of the
CGE Mandate(FCCC/SBI/2010/inf.2) of synthesizing lessons learnt and collate good practices for reporting of National Communications,
Key selected indicators have been identified from “User Manual for Guidelines on NCs from NAI” for various sections of National Communication for NAI Parties, which represent a fair contribution to good practice articulation.
These key indicators have been qualitatively assessed/collected from SNC reports of selected NAI Parties which have so far submitted their NCs, and from other groups work to avoid duplication.
The Matrix developed can enable a reasonable fair comparison of good practices and challenges across NAI countries who have submitted their SNC
This process may assist in identification of challenges which require sharing among Parties aimed at improving reporting of NCs.

RESULTS
90% of the Parties assessed included in the NC, information on institutional arrangements for preparation of National Circumstances and distribution of responsibilities
Only 19.4% and 40% of attained indicators, included in the NC description of relevant features from national circumstances affecting and/or being affected by climate change, and insertion of a Summary Table of key relevant information.

RESULTS-GHG INVENTORY
Over 80% of Parties attained good practice reporting on inclusion of information on description of institutional arrangements for preparation of GHG inventory, use of higher-tier methods, and coverage of all sectors, respectively
There was moderate coverage of indicators of around 60% related to complete coverage of gases including indirect gases and inclusion of Summary Table, and time series analysis.

RESULTS-GHG InventoryThere were, however, challenges with attainment
performance of below 50% on undertaking comparison of Reference and Sectoral Approaches, key category analysis, institution of National Inventory Management System including QA/QC and uncertainty assessments, and combined use of Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines, IPCC Good Practice Guidance 2000, and Good Practice
Guidance for LULUCF 2003.

RESULTS –V&A
There was good practice reporting on inclusion of information on institutional arrangements for preparation of V&A, and use of GCM/RCM models for developing CC projection scenarios and impact assessment based either on models or expert judgment with over 80% attainment, and to some extent inclusion of Policy Framework
The challenge, however, remained with application of either multi criteria analysis and/or cost benefit analysis for prioritisation of projects from the normally long lists of adaption projects being recommended.

RESULTS-MITIGATION
There were good efforts to include in the NC information related to mitigation strategy and plan, and use of tools for baseline and mitigation scenarios development with 70% and 52%, respectively.
There was, however, less assessment of cost of mitigation, and integration of GHG reductions and costs through construction of marginal cost curves with below 20% attainment performance and completely no coverage on macroeconomic assessment of climate change mitigation.

RESULTS- OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION
There was good attainment of inclusion on status on information technology transfer, research and systematic observation, and activities related to education, training and public awareness with 90% attainment
Under this section, the challenge remains with integrating and/or mainstreaming climate change into development plans

42% 13% 32% 13% 100%
If over 60% can be regarded as good practice threshold, results of this analysis indicate that 45% of the Parties assessed had made efforts in their reporting with good practice, and 55% had challenges in fulfilling good practice during reporting of NCs.
